I used to do it on that app "bottled"

But then they banned me for some reason and never responded my emails

Niggas... and others...

I'm down for that sort of thing

Hey /relics/, I'm looking for help. You see, I'm not even baptised yet, but want to enter christendom possibly till the end of this summer. Problem is, as far as I know there is no way one could get baptized without godparents, and I have zero candidates for that. There's literally no one in my whole family that is worthy of such a title, not because I'm proud, but because they are all a) prots (I like them the most tbh) b) or godless liberals, who although may be catholic, but has only taken up Christianity because it became a trend in their school at the time.

Another guess was the cousin of my girlfriend, but she's only 3 years older than me, but has a very pure heart. I'm afraid it would come out as awkward though.

Anyone in a similar situation? Any advices? Should I seek the advice of my local priest?

You most definetly should talk to your local priest

I take it you atend mass already and is seeking to regularize yourself?

A couple friends of mine were godparents to a girl who was the same age. But yes, talk to the priest.

Actually I don't, I've been putting it off for a few weeks now, but I'm ready to attend mass regularly. I guess that should be the first step.
So can I just talk to the priest after the mass on Sunday regarding my issue? Or how do things like this go?
Sorry for being so ignorant, but I never received religious upbringing. I have only attended like 4 masses in my life aside from wedding masses.

according to a quick google it's not necessary for Godparents if you are an adult

though obviously speak to a priest to get an actual, weighted opinion on the matter

Just go talk to the priest after Mass. He should be happy to discuss everything with you.

OK, thanks for your insight, I appreciate it :)

@GenkiDaman I’m guessing you’re an adult? Myself, my parish priest and a few members of my parish were chatting over lunch last Sunday about someone who reached out to a friend of mine. This person wished to be received into the church in the traditional rites. Father stated that without a firm commitment to the Catholic faith and regular (read: meet your obligation ie Sunday’s and holy days of obligation) there would be absolutely no point. He commented that the church nowadays seems to baptise & confirm more ‘lapsed Catholics’ than ‘Catholics’ as many who are baptised and confirmed are hardly seen again at mass. This is especially true in parochial sacraments of initiation classes in systemic catholic schools in Australia (my country). 95% of the kids confirmed are never seen again at Mass. We need those who believe in the faith and who hold fast to its precepts (Mass attendance on Holy Days of Obligation is a precept of the Church), as they are the future of the Church. You will probably be required to undergo catechesis prior to reception. I will pray for you along your journey into the Catholic faith

Naturally, there would be no point in committing myself to the catholic faith, if I wasn't meaning to hold fast to the precepts.
Thank you for the wishes :)
If anyone is interested, I might update on Wholesome Sunday.

Please do

Okay bois

I'm in a pickle!

What's your problem?

So, see, I spent 5 years with a person and I thought she was perfect, but long story short; she decided to thot up and throw it all away because "MUST ENJOY MY YOUTH" kind of thought. K fine I already overcame that. But it appears that I forgot how to approach people and I can't seem to correct myself, how do you do it? I think it looks strange to just talk to people

Shit, I don't know it that makes any sense.

Okay, let me summarize.

You lost your sweetheart, and know you've forgotten how to introduce yourself.

Yes?

😦

why do women do this more than men?

Pretty much, Kristov

For real Kaitsar, strangely tho, when people heard we had broken up, the first thought they had was that I had screwed up

Imagine their shock.mp3

I'll pray for you.

Are you in an active, young parish?

There are a few people around my age there

But I'm pretty new there

Well, best I can give you is this: get involved in the parish, get involved in the community. You'll have to introduce yourself to people you work with. Stick around after Mass. It helps that you're new, because that's a way of introducing yourself: "Hi, I'm Luiz, I'm new here." And then say something about the parish.

Of course, take this with a grain of salt. I don't currently have a girlfriend, and I never have had one. But I've talked to lots of girls my age, so there you have it.

I really am grateful for prayers btw, thank you

I guess there's no other way to do it other than putting myself in that situation huh. Damn I forgot how awckward I was lol

One thing I can tell you for certain: listen to her. Whoever she is. Don't always talk about yourself.

Hopefully you know that already, just thought I'd make sure.

people love to talk about themselves
